What kind of poor reporting is this?
Crash of ? into daycare. NO call to police! Parent of injured 8 yo who attends daycare calls police 4 hours after incident when child tells dad what happened! Reporter won't answer questions but says she's on vacation and will take up there when she returns!
This CBS6 in Henrico, VA area will NOT tell is make & model!

‘It felt like lightning stabbed me,’ child injured at Henrico daycare said
HENRICO, Va. – At least one child was hurt Wednesday, after a Henrico daycare building was hit by a car around 12:30 p.m.
Now, a day later, police said charges could be pending.
Police found out about the accident at CrossRoads Christian Academy from a parent who contacted them after picking up their child.
“That is crazy…to think something that extreme you wouldn’t call the police,” Brandon Cotman said after his son, Jeremiah, was injured at the daycare.

Eight-year-old Jeremiah said it was nap time when the car flew into the building and shattered a glass door.
“It felt like lightning stabbed me in the back, and I fell to the floor,” Jeremiah Cotman said.
Cotman had minor scars on his leg, arm, and above his eye from glass flying into his little body.
“It was like dripping everywhere, blood was on the floor,” Jeremiah Cotman said.
Brandon Cotman said Jeremiah’s mom talked to someone at CrossRoads Christian Academy who told her a car malfunctioned.
But, nobody seems to know exactly what happened because Henrico Police confirmed they were never called.
“I thought that was crazy. I thought that was protocol for you to call 911 emergency and to get EMS out there to make sure everybody is ok especially when somebody is hurt,” Brandon Cotman said.
Cotman ended up calling the police himself, and Sergeant Colin Rooney confirmed they are now investigating.
Prevailing Word Ministries Pastor Gary Garner runs the CrossRoads Christian Academy daycare. Garner declined to do an interview, but did say “it was only a few minor cuts” when asked about the crash.
A woman at the front desk of the daycare said she spoke with a woman in the licensing division of the Virginia Department of Social Services who told her proper protocol was followed.
CBS 6 reporter Melissa Hipolit reached out to the VDSS by email, but is waiting to hear back.
Brandon Cotman said those answers don’t satisfy him, and he won’t be sending his son back to CrossRoads Christian Academy.
“Why wouldn`t you call police if an accident happened at your daycare? I don`t understand that at all,” Cotman said.
